Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) refers to benign ectopic bone formation in soft tissue and is common following trauma surgery. HO bone can restrict movement and progress into ankylosis that may necessitate surgical intervention. This article discusses the current literature on the pathophysiology, prophylaxis, treatment, and epidemiology of postoperative HO following orthopedic trauma.
